Usage

## S4 method for signature 'omics_array,omics_array'
unionOmics(M1, M2)

Arguments

M1

a omics-array or a list of omics-arrays

M2

a omics-array or nothing if M1 is a list of omics-arrays

Methods

list("signature(M1 = \"omics_array\", M2 = \"omics_array\")")

Examples

if(require(CascadeData)){
data(micro_S, package="CascadeData")
#Create another omicsarray object with 100 genes
Mbis<-M<-as.omics_array(micro_S[1:100,],1:4,6)
#Rename the 100 genes
Mbis@name<-paste(M@name,"bis")
rownames(Mbis@omicsarray) <- Mbis@name
#Union (merge without duplicated names) of the two omicsarrays. 
str(unionOmics(M,Mbis))
